Walking stumbly on these shadow feet

Every time I put my shoes on I notice a little more how much they have worn down, knowing it's only a short while until they end up just like every other pair of shoes I've ever bought... broken and torn up.

While growing up I was in a wonderful group of friends, but now we have departed on different roads of our choosing. Today I have college, and I know that eventually it will fade away in a soon to be distant past.

I'm on my third vehicle, and my second cell phone... all of these too will fade away into just another memory.

I have amazing friends now... who knows where the Lord will lead us. I hope that it is in the same area, but I'm not going to pretend to be ignorant of the fact that God has different plans for us all. I know that what I have now with you guys, this ability to hang out like we do, will some day be a past memory and God will have me in different fellowships meeting their needs as a servant of Christ. I thank him that we are all in Christ and never that far in the spirit, but we will not always be physicaly there for each other.

I've learned that what I have physicaly here on this earth will fade away, but only he will remain. He's the only thing steady and constant throughout the passing of time.

Right now it feels that each step I take, in the physical, feels like a mere shadow in comparison to eternity with him.
